Made In America Week Falls Apart For Trump After Reporter Asks About Ivanka Trump Clothing

A White House spokesperson was touting Trump’s upcoming “Made In America” week, but when a reporter asked about Ivanka Trump’s made overseas clothing line, the White House clammed up and said, “We’ll get back to you on that.”

The report from the White House Press Pool as provided to PoliticusUSA:

Spokeswoman Helen Aguirre Ferre was asked whether the president would use “Made in America” week to push Ivanka Trump’s clothing line to produce products in America, rather than overseas. “We’ll get back to you on that,” she said.

It impossible for a president who makes his own products overseas, and whose family businesses also make their products overseas to be taken seriously as he is supposedly promoting made in America week, unless they mean made in America for everybody but the Trumps.

Trump is setting himself up for ridicule on a daily basis. This president lacks any sense of decency and self-awareness. Made In America week is already a total disaster because Donald Trump doesn’t expect people to point out that he and his kids don’t actually make their products in America.

Help Us Fight Corporate News: Donate To PoliticusUSA

PoliticusUSA is 100% people-powered politics. We are independent, meaning we aren’t beholden to a think tank, venture capitalists, a board full of wealthy people with an agenda, corporate or political relationships.

We write the facts for the people. Whatever policy or opinion we present is because we believe it is best for the people of this country, not for the billionaires and corporations.

We speak for those who don’t have a seat at the table and we hold power accountable no matter what side of the aisle it’s on. We are deliberately outside of the beltway.

Right now, our ability to do this is being threatened by Silicon Valley, Trump’s attacks on a free press, and the corporate media. Pretty soon the only news left will be that funded by huge mega-donors and corporate owners, with an agenda that doesn’t always speak for the people.

We need your help. If you can spare $2 to help fund our efforts, it will only take a minute. Every contribution you make goes directly to paying for independent journalism.
